"Why Do You Steem?" Video Blogging With My Sister Before Our Dad's Echocardiogram

breakingtonight (60) in personal • 7 years ago (edited)

As my sister and I wait with my dad to get his echocardiogram, we decided to do a short video blog that raises the following question....

"Why Do You Steem?"

I know I've touched on this before to a certain extent, and have even shared many of the personal causes in my life which motivate me to press on with my Steemit Journey!

But why do you Steem? I'd love to know your story on what motivates you... That which drives you to be the best Steemian you can be!

If for no other reason, this platform is such a refreshing social media experience as compared to other sites and my sister talks about that in the video blog, as well!

Thanks for tuning in and thanks again for your support, upvotes, comments and resteems! Have a great day and don't forget to follow me @breakingtonight 😊

Good post thank you for your and sister opinion. BTW greetings to her ;) And I hope your father is ok ? Thank you for sharing it was always pleasure to listen. :)

Thanks so much, @margaretwise
I will pass that along to her! :) His primary care ordered an echo but we are hoping he will have good results. We won't get them back for about 5-7 days from now because the cardiologist will have to read it first.
After his stroke, he has developed a number of additional health issues so we are at the clinics quite often. Thanks so much for your good wishes! :)

Hey man.

I steem because I want to share my music to the world, and also continue on my life coaching journey as a therapist and a beacon to support those to become their own beacon for success and purpose for living.

@nlizotte
That is so inspiring to hear! I think that's awesome and you should always aspire to be all that you desire to be! 🎶 Music is a powerful tool to touch people's lives and so is life coaching ! Keep up the good work! 😊

Well, I do it to start up in life. I always thought there must be a way around the worldly system that our forefathers lived through. Didn't want a desk job, I wanted something more than that. Not this exactly but something that I'd be able to control. Not a business either. Then crypto came along and not long later, steemit. This has changed my world and it has only been a couple of days. Hoping that this could be the foundation to start up life for me as I'm still finishing my studies! Thanks for sharing the video, it's good to know that there are others with every situations. I wish you all the best for the future. All steem ahead! Cheers.

Nice video! I hope your father is ok

breakingtonight (60) · 7 years ago (edited)

Thanks so much, @alinabarbu
He's hanging in there. His doctor wanted him to get an echocardiogram so he could make sure that everything is ok. He had this test two years ago so they want to determine if everything is the same as before. Always nice to hear from you, my friend! :)

I steem because I want to have an abundant life. I want my parents to live a luxury life because of me. Of course I don't only steem because of the money. It's just simply an amazing place to be and I actually feel like I'm a part of a community for once !

breakingtonight (60) · 7 years ago (edited)

I totally understand what you're saying and I get it! You want to help your parents because you care about them and want to do good things for them! You also want to earn enough to have a comfortable life and make a difference! I feel the same way and I'm happy that we have a great community such as this! Keep on steeming! 😊
